Description:
Vishnu Puran describes the four personages of Vishnu, the first reclining on Shesh [The Snake bed], the second nurtures creation, the third assumes an avatar [Incarnation] and reinstates righteousness [Dharma] and the fourth destroys unrighteousness and demons.
Vishnu has been described as existing in various forms in creation, the first unmenifested Brahma, The second as the creator Prajapati, the Third as Kal [time] and the fourth in the form of the animate and the inanimate creation.
The ten avatars of Vishnu are Matsya [the fish],Kurma [the tortoise],Varaha[the boar], Narsinha[the man lion],Vaman[the dwarf], Pushuram, Rama, Krishna, Buddha and Kalki. In each Avatar Vishnu appears to redeem the world and manifests his divine being into the life of man whenever evil threatens it. He will destroy the evil and preach spirituality, helps his followers to lead and rule the world righteously. The blue god Krishna gave the Geetopdesh to mankind on the battlefield of Mahabharat. Similarly each avatar of Vishnu gives a divine message and guidance that transforms the world greatly. The final avatar called Kalki is expected to herald the end of darkness and the dawn of a new age on our planet.
As the Judgement card, the Vishnu avatars tell us that we must hear the voice of the divine, and respond to it now in order to join forces in the creation of a wonderful reality for the world we live in.
